Overview

This hands-on field workshop is designed to teach hunters how to read whitetail sign and interpret how deer are using the landscape. Participants will meet on public land and move through real terrain while learning how to identify movement patterns, bedding areas, transition zones, and food sources.

The focus of this course is practical application. By the end of the session, participants will be able to locate deer sign and confidently develop a hunting plan based on the information gathered.

What Participants Will Be Doing

• Walking public land habitat types
• Identifying and aging scat based on moisture and weather exposure
• Reading track depth, stride length, and travel direction
• Determining walking versus running patterns
• Locating bedding zones and security cover
• Identifying transition corridors between bedding and food
• Discussing wind direction and entry strategy
• Evaluating how pressure influences deer movement

Toward the end of the workshop, each participant will identify deer sign in the field and explain how they would use that information to develop a hunting strategy.

Who This Is For

This course is ideal for hunters who want to improve confidence on public land, better understand deer behavior, and make informed decisions before and during the season.

Overview

This hands-on field workshop is designed to help hunters locate and interpret turkey sign prior to the season and develop effective setup strategies. Participants will meet on public land and move through real habitat while learning how turkeys use terrain, feeding areas, and roost sites throughout the spring.

The focus of this course is practical application. By the end of the session, participants will be able to identify active turkey areas and develop a clear plan for approaching opening day with confidence.

What Participants Will Be Doing

• Identifying scratch areas and feeding sign
• Locating and evaluating potential roost trees
• Recognizing travel routes between roost and feeding zones
• Identifying strut zones and open display areas
• Interpreting droppings and feather sign
• Discussing how weather and pressure affect gobbling behavior
• Evaluating setup locations and decoy positioning
• Reviewing safe shot angles and ethical considerations

Toward the end of the workshop, participants will identify turkey sign in the field and explain how they would set up based on the terrain and conditions.

Who This Is For

This course is ideal for new and intermediate turkey hunters looking to better understand bird movement, reduce guesswork, and improve consistency during the spring season.

Overview

This advanced workshop combines digital scouting with in-field verification to help hunters move beyond guesswork and develop data-driven strategies. Participants will learn how to use mapping tools alongside real-world sign interpretation to identify high-probability deer movement areas before and during the season.

The focus of this course is connecting terrain analysis, wildlife sign, and wind strategy into a cohesive hunting plan.

What Participants Will Be Doing

• Using mapping applications to identify funnels, bedding cover, and transition zones
• Analyzing topographic features and edge habitat
• Marking predicted movement corridors prior to entering the field
• Verifying predictions by locating active deer sign
• Distinguishing historical sign from current activity
• Evaluating pressure impact on movement patterns
• Developing wind-based entry and exit strategies

Toward the end of the workshop, participants will select a location and explain how they would approach, hunt, and exit the area based on terrain, sign, and wind conditions.

Who This Is For

This course is ideal for intermediate and experienced hunters who want to integrate digital tools, terrain analysis, and advanced sign interpretation into a structured, strategic hunting approach.

Overview

This workshop introduces participants to modern saddle hunting systems in a controlled, safety-focused environment. Designed for hunters interested in lightweight, mobile setups, this course covers proper equipment use, tree selection, and safe climbing techniques.

All instruction is conducted at low elevation with full safety protocols in place. This is a fundamentals course intended to build confidence and competence before applying these methods during the season.

What Participants Will Be Doing

• Reviewing saddle system components and proper fit
• Learning lineman belt and tether setup procedures
• Practicing controlled climbing techniques
• Setting and leveling a platform at low height
• Understanding proper tether angles and shot positioning
• Reviewing emergency descent procedures
• Discussing tree selection and bark considerations

Participants will operate at a maximum height of approximately 10 feet while secured to a tether system. Safety protocols will be strictly enforced at all times.

Who This Is For

This course is ideal for hunters interested in mobile setups, public land adaptability, and modern lightweight hunting systems. No prior saddle experience is required.
